IM PROVBMENT IN CHURNS.

T0 ALL WHOM IT MAY CONQERN:

Be it known that we, CLARK M. TERRELL and NATHAN W. Hussnr, ofOskaloosmin the county of Mahaska, and in the State of Iowa, haveinvented certain new anduseful Improvements in Churns; and do herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to theletters of reference marked thereon, making a part of thisspecification.

In the annexed drawings, A represents the base of the frame, which isprovided with a. circular groove at one end, into which is placedthechurn-barrel Gr, which said barrel is made as large at tsrtop nsat itsbottom. From the centre of the base A is constructed an upright board,B, which is provided with a button, E, on its front face for securingthe churn-barrel tightly in its place. F represents the dasher-shaft,which is provided with a perforated flasher :it its bottom, and isconnected at its top to metal bar, D, having a. series of holes,

i' z z, by which means it is adjusted t'o the extremity of the lever C,to correspond with the amount of cream in the borrel. The lever C hasits fulcrnm at the top ol' the bonrdB, and is operated by a. personstanding upon the rear part of the hase A, which keeps vthe base'perfectly steady in its place. a is a. small vont-hole in the top ofthe lid of the churn. l l l V l I A. churn thus situated is readilyoperated with but little exertion, and will form butter in a. shortspace of time. y f

Having thus fully described our invention, what we claim as nemenddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

'lhe combination of the grooved base A, churn G, standard B, with buttonE and lever C, provided with an adjustable metal plate D for connectingthe dasher E, the whole constructed, arrangedfand operating in themanner as specified.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing, We have hereuntoset our hands,this 9th day ofiJuly, 1867.
